Well, it's like, you've had classic rock since like 1977, oldies, throwback hip hop, classic country...yet every station acts like 1990-2001 never happened, unless it's Nirvana, AIC, couple of Soundgarden tunes, Green Day from "Dookie", Weezer from the blue album, and Loser by Beck. There's enough to go around, starting in the early to mid 80s all the way through currents. I don't really have time to make a playlist but there's enough power songs and plenty of secondary and tertiary songs to go around.
This was a great video. I think some folks here will like this. The rise and fall of alternative rock radio. Rick Beato, Matt Pinfield and Leslie Fram of 99X. The actual format has hit a wall. But there's plenty to go around from gold selections and better current selections.
